Chemometric Analysis Of Inter- And Intra-Molecular Diversification Factors By A Machine Learning Simplex Approach. A Review And Research On Astragalus Saponins.

Metabolisms represent highly organized systems characterized by strong regulations satisfying the mass conservation principle. This makes a whole chemical resource to be competitively shared between several ways at both intra-and inter-molecular scales. Whole resource sharing can be statistically associated with a constant sum-unit constraint which represents the basis of simplex mixture rule.

Chemometrics Methods for Specificity, Authenticity and Traceability Analysis of Olive Oils: Principles, Classifications and Applications.

Background: Olive oils (OOs) show high chemical variability due to several factors of genetic, environmental and anthropic types. Genetic and environmental factors are responsible for natural compositions and polymorphic diversification resulting in different varietal patterns and phenotypes. Anthropic factors, however, are at the origin of different blends' preparation leading to normative, labelled or adulterated commercial products.

History of settlement of villages from Central Tunisia by studying families sharing a common founder Glycogenosis type III mutation.

Glycogen storage disease type III (GSD III; Cori disease; Forbes disease) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder resulting from deficient glycogen debrancher enzyme activity in liver and muscle. In this study, we focused on a single AGL gene mutation p.W1327X in 16 Tunisian patients from rural area surrounding the region of Mahdia in Central Tunisia.

Differential impact of consanguineous marriages on autosomal recessive diseases in Tunisia.

Objectives: Consanguinity is common in Tunisia. However, little information exists on its impact on recessive disorders. In this study, we evaluate the impact of consanguineous marriages on the occurrence of some specific autosomal recessive disorders and consider how other factors, such as population substructure and mutation frequency, may be of equal importance in disease prevalence.

Specific aspects of consanguinity: some examples from the Tunisian population.

Located at the cross-road between Europe and Africa, Tunisia is a North African country of 11 million inhabitants. Throughout its history, it has been invaded by different ethnic groups. These historical events, and consanguinity, have impacted on the spectrum and frequency of genetic diseases in Tunisia.
